4:03 Funny thing about all that is. IDW seems to really love Bumper in past several months, making him an actual character in the new comic series. With a starring role despite also being killed off. Makes you wonder if this was supposed to be a toy for the guy seeing his recent apperance in media, then Hasbro decided to make it Bee for some reason?
One nitpick I have with the car is the back wheels will rub into the wheel arches if everything isn't tabbed in exactly tight. But I got it on a whim as it was the last one in a Target in a mall.
I’ve always loved the legends class from the PWT, plus I unintentionally have a small bumblebee section happening on my shelf so yay Hasbro gets my money 😂 great video man
7:11 the only reason I bought this set was because literally every other good tf figure at the Target I was at was sold out. All that was left were select figures from the Buzzworthy line so I'm glad they at least had this one.
oh *damn* was not expecting the pantshat joke. "Bruh, your thinking of *dennys*" Edit: 12:05 okay this is officially your most cursed review and I love it.
Gotta say I'm glad I watched your review before I got myself one. Was pretty apprehensive about buying him but seeing how well put together he is I grabbed him. Thanks for these videos you put out!
My theory is that a Hasbro designer wanted to make a Bumper figure, and the executives said “Fine, but we’re going to put a Bumblebee head on it and sell it as him.”
I have to admit, this doesn’t look bad. Also, I don’t mind the wheel arches. They look more like wings to me, which seems especially fitting for Bumblebee.
Nice to see I'm not alone in the "core class bee is pretty snazzy" group. Personally I'm glad I got him over the er cliff retool, I find him a fun little fidget toy, plus he's got a bangin car mode Also I wasn't expecting the digs at mp bee, I loved those 😂
I like the little fella. He’s not amazing, but he’s fun! You can… I dunno take places with you if you want a little bumble boi at all times. Good video Doc!
I bought this guy at my local Target a while back, and I agree with a lot of what you said. This is my first Bumblebee in a while, and the exclusivity of the WFC variant WAS NOT HELPING! I was, and still am, very fucking pissed at Hasbro for that. *sigh* At least the Cybertronian Cruiser Bee can be given dry-brushing to fit in with Siege
I got this guy at a target before a trip along with galvatron and shatters car mode and I’m really happy I got him his one of the best bumblebees I own and he goes well with kingdom Optimus
Early on the real Buzzworthy figure in the line was Car Shatter but Buzzworthy for not very great reasons! Currently in mid-late 2021, we got some real Buzzworthy figures in the line.
I’ve got the 2009 camero bee from buzzworthy bumblebee and it’s actually pretty good they actually did make some differences like the hood has an air intake instead of a flag room the foghorns are more accurate to the rotf camero and the yellow is more pleasing shade . It’s probably the best one out of the line and I’m happy to own it but I know this isn’t really your cup of tea
I bought this pack because I had literally just watched Chris Mcfeely's "The Basics on Bumper" before finding it at Target. And because, when I was a fan of Spike's and Daniel's Exosuit in Transformers the Movie. The Bumblebee was a nice surprise, but I was disappointed in the lack of articulation with Spike. From the packaging, I thought he'd at least be able to move his legs. And I really wanted to use him to recreate scenes from the classic movie (along with the Studio Series figures, and some WFC additions). But there's absolutely no way I could do any of the flips and poses Daniel uses in the film.
@@DrLockdown I agree on that. Bumblebee was more articulate and complex than a normal Battlemaster, but definitely not a Deluxe (even dwarfed by the Netflix Series Bumblebee). But despite being a little larger than a Headmaster, Spike's Exosuit had less articulation. And the Exosuit in the film had a more complex transformation. Unfortunately though, I don't own any other toys of Spike or Daniel (Exosuit or not). I don't even know what toys even exist for Spike or Daniel.
Considering what Netflix Bee is going for lately, and I only intend to go after one Netflix exclusive (being Megatron), IF I really need a modern CHUG Bee, this one will have to do. Yeah, Spike unnecessarily jacks up the price, but still not as bad as paying for Netflix Bee. And Cliff already does the mold much better, so no need for the same thing. Yes, and I say that despite the partsforming.
@@DrLockdown You think he's still relatively easy to find and cheap compared to this? I guess he would go well with my WFC/SS86 CHUGs, and be another exception along with Springer (T30), Magnus (CW), Arcee (TR), and, depending on the upcoming one, Galvatron (TR)
In short besides the head..... Preaty much a PERFECKT Bumber update (with acception to the blaster.. Like REALLY, they couldn t use a bit more platick there?)
Oh definitely. Always. I collect all legends moulds. It's a completionist things. One day I hope to tackle everything, but at the moment it's just a bit difficult
@@DrLockdown imo the paintwork and articulation are far bette on the Netflix, not to mention its bad ass head sculpt and detailing, it's only problem is the parts forming, and personally I could look past it because the vehicle form is an actual volkswagen, it is cool because no 5mm ports make it look like it is meant to be just a collectable car and not actually a transformers, I like the buzzworthy altmode, but the robot mode is sad, it has kibble hanging off the back and clunky arms. The head sculpt is sad to say the least and it comes with the worse accessorie I've ever seen, SPIKE.

If thats the case, I'm mad because I want an official toy of him that isn't an accident!
11:17 Is the comedic highlight of the review.
Alejandro lol. Im gonna name Goldbug that.
One nitpick I have with the car is the back wheels will rub into the wheel arches if everything isn't tabbed in exactly tight. But I got it on a whim as it was the last one in a Target in a mall.
Surprised to hear this thing isn't completely shit. I'm actually thinking of picking him up right now!
I’ve always loved the legends class from the PWT, plus I unintentionally have a small bumblebee section happening on my shelf so yay Hasbro gets my money 😂 great video man
Thankfully this is actually a good release

Buzzworthy bumblebee ain't worth committing a felony over
Gotta say I'm glad I watched your review before I got myself one. Was pretty apprehensive about buying him but seeing how well put together he is I grabbed him. Thanks for these videos you put out!
No prob. He's getting a lot of flak because the Netflix one exists, but honestly he's really well done
My theory is that a Hasbro designer wanted to make a Bumper figure, and the executives said “Fine, but we’re going to put a Bumblebee head on it and sell it as him.”
I was wondering wether or not I should get this Bee, he just seems like a shelfwarmer
Given the negative public perception, I reckon he'll be on clearance in due time.
@@DrLockdown or worse scalpers because of course we can’t ever get transformers for cheap
@@DrLockdown 11:11 is that a personal attack
Yo, i was shocked when i heard 2k milestone, SHOULD BE 200K! cause man, you sound professional!
Thanks mate. Maybe I'll get there eventually
I have to admit, this doesn’t look bad.
Also, I don’t mind the wheel arches. They look more like wings to me, which seems especially fitting for Bumblebee.
That's what I was getting at.
Nice to see I'm not alone in the "core class bee is pretty snazzy" group. Personally I'm glad I got him over the er cliff retool, I find him a fun little fidget toy, plus he's got a bangin car mode
Also I wasn't expecting the digs at mp bee, I loved those 😂
Hehe. Yeah mp45 is rubbish
I like the little fella. He’s not amazing, but he’s fun! You can… I dunno take places with you if you want a little bumble boi at all times. Good video Doc!
RID 2015 is still alive, through buzzworthy repaints of crash combiners, love to see you bash on those figures
I'm annoyed it's just those and not any of the warrior figures. Those were always awesome
I bought this guy at my local Target a while back, and I agree with a lot of what you said. This is my first Bumblebee in a while, and the exclusivity of the WFC variant WAS NOT HELPING! I was, and still am, very fucking pissed at Hasbro for that. *sigh* At least the Cybertronian Cruiser Bee can be given dry-brushing to fit in with Siege
13:10 Man times have changed. The multi packs the Legacy stuff and of course, Origins Bee
Honestly I am holding out on Bee until a full on Bumper upgrade set comes or he goes on sale because my local target has two pegs full of them
Somehow I doubt he's going to move
@DrLockdown Now it’s impossible to find
My local store still has like thirty of them
@@DrLockdown Really? My Target hasn’t had them for nearly 7 months
Tonnes
with the back kibble it can be explained away with those being this version of bumblebee's door wings i guess idk
That's what I was thinking
Was that a pansahat Bionicle reference? In a doctor lockdown video?
Truly, this channel is based
I actually like the ER Cliffjumper mold
I admire your work ethic
Thanks mate
I got this guy at a target before a trip along with galvatron and shatters car mode and I’m really happy I got him his one of the best bumblebees I own and he goes well with kingdom Optimus
He's an underrated gem
Idk man, I grew up watching G1 on boomerang, and I grew to like his goofy face, so I like the MP 2.0s head and this ones too!
Early on the real Buzzworthy figure in the line was Car Shatter but Buzzworthy for not very great reasons!
Currently in mid-late 2021, we got some real Buzzworthy figures in the line.
Yeah I got the pack coming in. Can't wait
Can confirm I saw this at target a few weeks ago and I didn't impulse buy it because i didn't want the spike
It's a useless price inflator
2:03
That would be a funny 3rd party name if they do an 3p version of this guy.
I’ve got the 2009 camero bee from buzzworthy bumblebee and it’s actually pretty good they actually did make some differences like the hood has an air intake instead of a flag room the foghorns are more accurate to the rotf camero and the yellow is more pleasing shade . It’s probably the best one out of the line and I’m happy to own it but I know this isn’t really your cup of tea
I have the original. It's fine. I just don't need a new version
I bought this pack because I had literally just watched Chris Mcfeely's "The Basics on Bumper" before finding it at Target. And because, when I was a fan of Spike's and Daniel's Exosuit in Transformers the Movie.

Should've been five bucks less

Unfortunately though, I don't own any other toys of Spike or Daniel (Exosuit or not). I don't even know what toys even exist for Spike or Daniel.
There's the masterpiece one, as well as a titan master version from hascon arcee
@@DrLockdown So there are a few. I want the Masterpiece one, but I'm not sure which one.
Hey Doctor Lockdown, do you read comics much? There's yet another Batman and Scooby-Doo crossover coming soon.
Not particularly. Been wanting to get into transformers IDW, but not much else
You can actually put rat traps gun in his hand when in rat mode kinda like what they did with cheetors gut blaster in the cartoon
If they repainted and retooled the Jeep bumblebee from the bumblebee movie into a proper WWII bumblebee, then I’m tossing out the older one.
Alas. Repacks only. Gotta hope Toyworld is still around with theirs
@@DrLockdown hope so my friend, hope so
Sooo... Spike's a pointless tagalong. Well, that's G1 accuracy right there!
I guess so
This figure has this weird G1trified version of Animated Bumblebee, which makes me want it even more.
I really want to see the toyhax for this Beeboi
Considering what Netflix Bee is going for lately, and I only intend to go after one Netflix exclusive (being Megatron), IF I really need a modern CHUG Bee, this one will have to do. Yeah, Spike unnecessarily jacks up the price, but still not as bad as paying for Netflix Bee. And Cliff already does the mold much better, so no need for the same thing.

Actually, the classics is pretty good too

I got mine for a tenner.
@@DrLockdown will see whoever will be the first available to scratch the potential itch. Appreciate the alternate prescription, doc!
No prob. Classics is still surprisingly fun to this day
Yep, surprisingly no parts-forming:)
Actually I find the partsforming on the Netflix one more surprising
Buzzworthy more like BuzzWORTHLESS
This looks like I good figure, but I’m gonna wait till it gets cheaper.
I reckon it'll go down eventually
In short besides the head..... Preaty much a PERFECKT Bumber update (with acception to the blaster.. Like REALLY, they couldn t use a bit more platick there?)
Eh. It doesn't look awful, so I think it's fine
The best investion is to save money and buy CYCLONUS THE HANDSOME GOD
I mean, you're not wrong
@@DrLockdown im right and i dont even have him
I think it was supposed to be Bumper but got moved to the Buzzworthy line and they simply changed the head to make it more like Bumblebee.
That's...what I said.
Wait hold up, I just noticed something. Did you put "the lick" at the end of your intro?
It's always been there, even in the old intro
@@DrLockdown wait... it’s the lick?
Always has been...
Eyup
Cliffjumper!! Lol
I saw this at Target and I almost bought it but for 3/4 of a Deluxe I just couldn’t justify it.
The car mode looks like a fox body mustang and are the back wheels rubber
Not quite. They're plastic, but a rubbery feeling one
fuck it I’m get him just to have Bumper
I hope that we Aussies get the 4-pack too
i hope someone makes a hubcap head
Wouldn't bumper be more fitting?
@@DrLockdown Both would be nice.
Can Buzzworthy Bee's gun store on Netflix bee's vehicle mode?
Don't think so. Not 5mm compatible. Gotta go with the centurion pack for that
And good luck getting that pack lmao
Not particularly interested. Split the set with a mate. I got the bot, he got the weapons
@@DrLockdown Then explain the Shockwave gun in Skywarp's hand at 12:10. The molding matches the weapon pack version perfectly.
That's an recast that a mate of mine did. Not the original
I actually vastly prefer this guy to the Netflix figure. The Netflix figure to me just looks, wrong.
Same. Dunno what's wrong with the Netflix chest, and I don't get why people think it's superior to MP21.
Will you do a video on Legacy Core classes?
I want to eventually, but it's really hard to pick which videos to do these days. Much less time.
@@DrLockdown I understand , but you still getting the toys , right?
Oh definitely. Always. I collect all legends moulds. It's a completionist things. One day I hope to tackle everything, but at the moment it's just a bit difficult
@@DrLockdown Legends class hits different doesn't?The new Legacies ones seem to be pretty great , especially Iguanus
Yeah the more I look at iguanus, the more I dig him. Sadly don't have mine yet though. Hopefully soon
Dr Lockdown reviews other Transformers when
Most Sundays. Check social media. I'm already working on another review.
I see maxemal 2 months we Wil get gselct bumper
He's got a bad name so he'll hit clearance soon so that'll make up for the spike
Totally awful name
Wait
He’s just like MP-21
Good bumblebee figure and crappy Spike in an overpriced 2 pack
Both are definitely overhated
eh this figure should have been bumper
What about the U.K?
No idea. Might have to import
@@DrLockdown Hope so
Masterpiece bumblebee 1. 0 is a lot better in a lot of areas
It's a masterpiece. This is a core class figure. Dunno if the comparison is really fair
@@DrLockdown I was talking about masterpies 2.0 with that
The kingdom cyclonus is good this line isn't
I mean this bee in particular is good, but yeah...stupid line in general
I Preffer The Titans Return legends Bumblebee,
Funny thing; I just ordered the bump of chicken version yesterday
@@DrLockdown what Is It That You’re Talking About
A rare Japanese repaint
Oh ok
Is this figure even buzzworthy?
Or is the Netflix version buzzworthy?
Neither are worthy of buzz, but this one's decent
@@DrLockdown yeah but i kinda like the Netflix version
The Netflix version is way better
Would have to disagree I'm afraid
@@DrLockdown imo the paintwork and articulation are far bette on the Netflix, not to mention its bad ass head sculpt and detailing, it's only problem is the parts forming, and personally I could look past it because the vehicle form is an actual volkswagen, it is cool because no 5mm ports make it look like it is meant to be just a collectable car and not actually a transformers, I like the buzzworthy altmode, but the robot mode is sad, it has kibble hanging off the back and clunky arms.
